angst prompts - accepting

he hates how awkward things are. he knows how much kip wants to come out -- how much he hates hiding and being cooped up in here like some kind of secret. he wants to tell the world -- he wants everyone to know that this...beautiful, kind man is his and that he's so stupidly in love with him that he can't imagine what his life might be like without him. he doesn't even want to imagine what that life would be like.

"i get it." does he, though? does he really understand what it's like...to be so open about ones sexuality and then having to hide it from the rest of the world? not really. he doesn't have family other than his team -- and slurs are used almost every day. his entire career could be put on the line for this, because of this. "just -- give me some time, and i promise i'll figure out a plan." he knows how unfair it is to ask kip for something that's so big, but he can't not yet. not until...well, he's not even sure what that looks like.
